It ended in a Pontic victory. After resuming the war, consul Marcus Aurelius Cotta took the Roman fleet into the Bosphorus. Outside the harbour of Chalcedon he was beaten by the Pontic fleet; Roman ships sought refuge inside the harbour, but to no avail: the Pontic fleet made their way into the port, where they destroyed or captured the Roman fleet. On land, the Pontic and Bastarnae troops routed the Roman army sent against them. 4,000–5,300 Romans were killed in the land battle, while 3,000–8,000 perished in the naval combat and 4,500 were captured. Mithridates lost only 30 Bastarnae and 700 others dead.[6][7] AftermathAfter the victory, Mithridates moved against the Roman controlled town of Cyzicus, which he besieged. This led to the siege of Cyzicus. Lucullus, the Roman proconsul of Cilicia, marched his army north, found Mithridates besieging Cyzicus and established a counter-siege. Mithridates' army was destroyed by famine and plague and the king fled back to Pontus. But the war was far from over and would rage on for another decade.
